The arrests include the investigations surrounding the shooting death of a college student, a man who was killed in an abandoned home in Treme and two other investigations from 2011 and 2006.

A fifth person wanted in connection with a 2004 cold case homicide investigation was also identified, but police learned that the person had died since they allegedly committed the crime.

One suspect, believed to have been involved in the killing of local 24-year-old college student Valan May, was arrested at 8 a.m. at a relative’s home in the 7400 block of Weaver Street in New Orleans East.

Detectives said 18-year-old Devante Billy teamed up with a 16-year-old, who was arrested last week, to kill May as he sat in his car in the 7900 block of Burke Road.

Police said Billy was identified in a photo lineup by members of the community. He was arrested on a charge of second-degree murder.

Police said Billy has been previously arrested on charges of bail jumping and other various warrants.

The second arrest stemmed from a man found dead on the bathroom floor of an abandoned home on Oct. 19.

Police said they arrested Kermitt Bernhart, 20, just before 1 a.m. Thursday in connection with the crime.

Police said Bernhart was loitering with a group of men in the 100 block of Royal Street in front of a business.

When police ran Bernhart’s name, they discovered he was wanted in connection with the killing of 21-year-old Christopher Lambert.

Witnesses identified Bernhart in photo line-ups, police said, and witnesses also said he spoke of killing Lambert before the murder was carried through. He was arrested on a charge of second-degree murder.

Police said Bernhart has been previously arrested on charges of attempted negligent homicide, shoplifting, possession of stolen property, and was currently on probation until June 2016 for illegal possession of a stolen vehicle and attempted negligent homicide.

The third arrest came about 10 a.m. Thursday in connection with a cold case from 2006.

Police said the gunman who killed 17-year-old Keith Simmons near the intersection of Dryades and Third streets on Dec. 15, 2006 turned himself in to authorities.

Police said Butler has been previously arrested on other murder charges, a charge of manslaughter, drug possession among others. He was currently on parole until April 2014 for accessory after the fact of second-degree murder.

The final arrest happened in connection with a 2011 homicide investigation.

Police said they arrested 21-year-old Chevroun Smith in the 1400 block of St. Dennis Street about 9 a.m.

According to police, Smith opened fire on a man at the Stallings Playground in the 2700 block of Laharpe Street on April 13, 2011, killing 32-year-old Ali Robinson.

Smith was arrested on a charge of second-degree murder. Police said he has been previously arrested on various charges and was on parole for unauthorized use of a motor vehicle.

Lastly, police identified the man wanted in connection with a killing that happened in 2004.

Aaron Morgan was fatally wounded on Jan. 10, 2004, when he left a convenience store in the 1900 block of Forstall Street. According to police, Morgan was struck with a blunt object and shot multiple times as he attempted to flee his aggressor.

Police said the suspects fled the scene in a maroon colored Ford Expedition. Detectives said they were able to locate a witness who identified one of the suspects as Albert Reed, who is deceased.

Details about Reed’s death weren’t made available.

“The people of New Orleans should be incredibly proud of the hardworking detectives in our Homicide Division. They’re not only making arrests in recent murders, but our Cold Case detectives are re-checking facts, locating witnesses and cracking older cases at a good rate”, said NOPD Superintendent Ronal Serpas. “I encourage you to look at the arrest records of these suspects. It’s alarming that some of these men had previously been arrested for illegally carrying guns, and one suspect had been picked up on first and second-degree murder charges.”

“In other words, our officers are tracking down and hauling in the right people. How these same people are walking the streets freely with residents and their families, is cause for great concern”, Serpas said.

Anyone with information on any of these crimes is asked to call Crimestoppers at 504-822-1111.
